Airline News and Commentary

Nothing to See Here, Please Disperse

1) CEO David Siegel told employees that, Air Transport World reports, “it is not “unusual” for a company to engage an investment bank or explore “strategic alternatives,” especially when it has financial commitments and obligations it must meet.” Nothing to see here…

2) The CEO of incredibly aggressive regional carrier Mesa said that he would be interested in purchasing some of US Airways’ assets should the airline continue to falter. The CEO says he certainly hopes US Airways can solve their problems (yeah right), but if that doesn’t happen, he’d like to explore purchasing some assets. Somebody smells blood.
